Responsible Gaming
Gaming Should Be Entertainment
At Ashby Gate, we believe that online gaming should be an enjoyable form of entertainment, not a way to make money or solve financial problems. PlayAmo and all gaming activities carry risk, and there is no guaranteed way to win. Always gamble within your means and only with money you can afford to lose.
Age Verification
In Australia, you must be at least 18 years of age (or the legal gambling age in your state or territory) to use PlayAmo and participate in online gaming. We take age verification seriously and reserve the right to request proof of age at any time.
If you are under the legal gambling age, please do not use this service. If you are a parent or guardian concerned about a minor's access to gaming sites, please monitor their online activity and speak with them about responsible internet use.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
Problem gambling can affect anyone. If you recognize any of the following warning signs in yourself or someone you know, it may be time to seek help:
- Chasing losses: Attempting to recover losses by gambling more
- Hiding gambling activity: Keeping gaming sessions secret from friends or family
- Increasing amounts: Needing to bet more money to get the same excitement
- Loss of control: Unable to stick to gambling limits or stop when intended
- Neglecting responsibilities: Gambling instead of work, study, or caring for family
- Financial strain: Borrowing money to gamble or using savings meant for bills
- Mood changes: Becoming anxious, irritable, or depressed when unable to gamble
- Relationship problems: Conflict with family or friends over gambling habits
